Baton Rouge, LA – March 21, 2014 – Lamar Advertising Company (Nasdaq: LAMR), a leading owner and operator of outdoor advertising and logo sign displays, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp. (“Lamar Media”), intends to redeem in full all $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (CUSIP No. 513075AY7) (the “Notes”). The redemption will be made in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes and the terms of the notice of redemption.

Lamar Media expects the Notes to be redeemed on April 21, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to 103.938% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price will be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon surrender of the Notes. Lamar intends to fund the redemption through a combination of (i) approximately $300 million in borrowings from the establishment of a new incremental term loan facility under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility (the “Term Loan”), (ii) borrowings under the revolving portion of its senior credit facility and (iii) cash on hand. Lamar Media expects to amend its senior credit agreement to establish the Term Loan on or before the Redemption Date. Lamar Media’s lenders have no obligation to make additional incremental loans (including the Term Loan) under the incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion.

A notice of redemption is being mailed to all registered holders of the Notes by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company N.A., the trustee for the Notes. Copies of the notice of redemption may be obtained from The Bank of New York Mellon by calling 1-800-254-2826.
